Book excerpt: Perimeter Defense is a four-book series by Michael Atamanov marrying LitRPG with space sci fi. In it, humanity has been roaming deep space for millennia, aggressively expanding their sphere of influence - until it runs into a strong and merciless enemy. Now the Terrans keep losing frontier battles and are forced to retreat, losing planet after planet. All attempts to stop the alien invasion or to at least try to communicate with them fail. Still, the far echo of space combat hasn't affected the lifestyle of the rich and conservative Throne World back on Earth. There, the Emperor habitually indulges in political intrigues with the Great Houses of his realm, none of whom are prepared to sacrifice their personal interests for the sake of uniting humanity in the face of an external enemy. Our world is facing extinction but continuing to stubbornly ignore the alien threat. Enter Ruslan, a young and talented gamer who's just signed a contract with a local aristocrat to play his character in a popular online game. His starting scenario is less than exciting: a small fleet of starships, an unhappy crew on the brink of mutiny, some meager resources and a very poor reputation in a strange and quite complex world in which Ruslan is now stuck until his contract expires. Ruslan finds himself at the very heart of fierce space battles led by non-humanoid races, each with a number of its own unique abilities. He has to tread carefully, navigating his way amid mortal foes and untrustworthy back-stabbing allies. In this world where authority is just as important as the number of starships in your fleet, political decisions can hit you just as hard as laser guns and thermonuclear bombs. But most importantly, is the world of Perimeter Defense real? Or is it virtual? This question will continue to haunt Ruslan as he tries to piece together a coherent picture of his new environment, coming up with several theories attempting to explain his new reality. All we can say is that the world of Perimeter Defense is way more complex than one might think at first glance. Here, some of your friends might prove your worst enemies - while the invasion of planet Earth might not be as clear-cut as it originally seemed.
Download or read book Sector Eight Perimeter Defense written by Michael Atamanov and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strange unyielding body that used to belong to Crown Prince George; a weird game you can't quit until your contract expires; a world teeming with powerful and very real enemies. The game in which your reputation and faction relationship are the only things that matter. Ruslan - a young ambitious gamer - agrees to these terms without hesitation. All that he knows is that he's been contracted to command a space fleet in a brand new game he knows nothing about. Objective: to survive for six months. He can't tell anyone about the swap. After having made some inevitable newb mistakes, Ruslan has to rethink his strategy, dropping traditional gaming conventions. Very soon Ruslan starts playing the part of the Crown Prince by his own rules. He replaces his quarrelsome Great House allies with sentient insects and chameleons; he even ignores the Prince's wife, preferring the company of a friendly droid and a young artless princess. The aristocratic Empire is in shock, scheming against Ruslan and even trying to bring him before the Royal court. Still, Ruslan can do very much what he wants as long as he does what he signed up for: lead his victorious Sector Eight Fleet to new triumphs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Full Immersion Reading Experience a boutique literary agency specializing in the genres of fantasy and science fiction with the focus on space opera, cyberpunk and LitRPG (video game-based fantasy and science fiction). The concept of fantasy embraces a vast variety of genres with settings varying from ancient to medieval, modern to futuristic.

Book excerpt: “Wholly original . . . the work of the newest major talent in fantasy.”—The Wall Street Journal “Freakishly compelling . . . through heart-thumping acts of violence and laugh-out-loud moments, this book practically dares you to keep reading.”—Atlanta Magazine A missing God. A library with the secrets to the universe. A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away. Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts. After all, she was a normal American herself once. That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father. In the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God. Now, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation. As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own. But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to protect the things that make her human. Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy. Praise for The Library at Mount Char An engrossing fantasy world full of supernatural beings and gruesome consequences."—Boston Globe "Vivid . . . the dialogue sings . . . you'll spend equal time shuddering and chortling."—Dallas Morning News"

Download or read book An Outcast in Another World written by Kamikaze Potato and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-12 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rob was an ordinary college sophomore when a pitch-back portal opened up on campus and tried to kidnap his best friend. An act of heroism resulted in him being taken instead, and he was rewarded for his efforts by being transported to another world with nothing but a sword and the clothes on his back. On the first day, he almost died. On the second day, he almost died. On the third, he began to notice a worrying trend. And almost died Whether he encounters wolves, cliffs, dungeons, monsters, or diseases, every day is a struggle to survive. The one advantage he has is his newfound ability to gain Levels and Stats, making himself stronger in order to survive the hostile lands that he was unceremoniously dumped into. He'll have to gain knowledge of the innerworkings of the world and its magic - progressing both his strength and his knowledge - in order to stay alive long enough to get revenge on whoever kidnapped him away from everything he knew and loved. Overcoming the wilds is just the first step in his journey; the locals aren't fond of humans, and discovering the dark past behind this new world's history of war and strife changes everything. As far as isekai adventures go, Rob drew the short straw in many ways, but it'll take more than danger at every corner to keep him down. He'll carve out a place in this world with his bare hands if necessary. He'll survive, and then he'll thrive. Whether anyone wants him to or not. -- An Outcast On Another World puts a great focus on story and characterization, making it perfect for fans of traditional fantasy stories, while still including plenty of skills, stats, classes, and progression for LitRPG-lovers to enjoy. The LitRPG elements are incorporated into the main story to construct a cohesive world that's easy to immerse yourself in. Rob's progression is weak to strong, and victories aren't handed to him on a silver platter. No matter how powerful he gets, mid-combat ingenuity is essential to achieving victory. An Outcast In Another World has dark elements to its narrative, but I've included appropriate humor as a balance, and many readers have told me that some parts made them burst out laughing while other parts tugged at their heartstrings. I truly believe that I've constructed a memorable fantasy RPG story that all types can love, and that you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
